yeah, you buy all the autometer guages they make $34,150.07 later, you realise the mini has a dash that's too small for all of them.

they soon add up, and they might look sweet but they sh!t me you pay way too much for the name. the Speco guages are really good, and a fair bit cheaper, less bling though :wink:

personally i like apexi gauges :P but that's just me :)
i also have family in the UK (near london) they've always been willing to ship stuff to me (blacksmithing hammers are BLOODY HARD to get ahold of down here...there are loads of them in the UK)...so i shall be emailing them to see what we can organise...they have lots of money too so they might even pay for the whole lot as a b'day pressie :P fingers x'd ;) might get a zeemax kit shipped with it...shouldnt add much to shipping given you could fit most of it inside the front :P

I have been around to see Ministar, Matt's little beast. I haven't seen it for a little while now. His effort's convinced me that it was worth the effort, and I have landed the 4efte myself :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: YAY BOOST

Long time ago, I was working at the shell service station in Alexandra Hills. Noted the nice pink mini and asked the owner where he got his flares from. He put his hands in the air and said "From here". Obviously indicating that he had made them himself.

Number plate was 'Brick' and where from NSW. I reckon that would have had to have been about '96-'97.

Maybe that was you?

all minis should be modded to be flip-fronts...that'd put an end to this "clubman v roundnose" crap...you could change the flavor of yer car like you change yer undies (hopefully you do the latter more often though :))

I doubt that would end the round/square war... how many people do you think would want their round nose minis to temporarily have a fake clubby front????? And vice versa??? (unless they use a Rover shell to reshell a rusted clubby of course)

Ahh, but you can hide bigger engines under a clubby front...
The 2ltr Vauxhall (holden) engine convertion will just fit under a clubby front, makes for a genuine 200bhp street sleeper..
You had to strech the round nose and it looked a bit odd
